Usefulness
I see you doubt your own usefulness already! As a seasoned wikiversity participant, and a wikinewsie, you're obviously not a new user to the whole wiki- system. On wikibooks we write instructional books. If you are interested, you could write a book about journalism (how to get a good story, how to write reports, etc). Since you are experienced in other projects, You might want to help out with an upcoming project that we have, a helpbook for using mediawiki and using the various wikimedia projects.

If you aren't interested in writing, we have all the common tasks of any project that you can jump into: double-redirects, stubs, vandalism, unlicensed images, etc. check out Wikibooks maintenance if you are interested in that kind of stuff.

Otherwise, just let me know what you are interested in. Chances are we either have a book on that subject that you can contribute to, or else we need a book on it that you can start! If you need any help, let me know. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 21:05, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd be interested - at least - in commenting on how to navigate and get stuff up on Wikinews. That is something I could help out with. Our style is quite different to Wikipedia and there is an urgency about reporting news that some find a turn-off. As to a book on Journalism... I'm an amateur - although I did manage to land an interview with Tony Benn. Any bookies want to add a question in the next 24 hours? --Brianmc 10:57, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
